Through personal insight, experiences, and a few other external references, this paper will surely display my innermost temperamental yet straightforward habits. My behavior is known to be quite bold yet conservative; in other ways, a little short—tempered yet compassionate. Some may be shown in a more positive manner than others depending on the situation at hand but it is what makes Briana Shockley.
This Candid Reflection will show how my surrounding environment and the people who surround me modulate my character either positively or negatively. As an 18-year-old female from Southeast DC, my surroundings were a large influence on my morality and actions. Being straightforward is one of my most prominent characteristics. When asked for advice or personal opinions on certain situations, a feeling of refrainment is not in my character. Though my answers and opinions may not be the most cherishing or given in the most affectionate way, being straightforward and honest is how I was raised f0 be. Promises are never hard for me to keep it does not matter who I make the promises for 1 always keep my promises. This is why loyalty is another affluent characteristic of mine I am very loyal to people who mean a lot to me such as family, friends, and coworkers.
Someone once told me, “blood makes you related but loyalty makes you family. With that being said, I cannot be anything but loyal to the people who mean a lot to me if I am being loyal to someone and do not senses the loyalty back, I will slowly cut off my loyal ways. Sometimes my temperamental ways result in my violent actions. It also results in my contemptuous verbal sayings not getting my way revealing these short- tempered moments of mine. These behavioral components are known to reveal my spoiled nature getting what i want is a necessity for me when it comes down to attitude. This characteristic of mine was primarily established because of the people who have been around me for an extended amount of time. There are few occasions when my wants are never satisfied to my liking.
Although it may not be a positive attribute to hold on to but it is what makes me who I am. I have tried in the past to get rid of this negative trait but, it never seems to go away being short—tempered may sometimes result in negative responses from others. I do not personally like their responses, but it is my temper that caused them to respond in the manner that they do determination is important when it comes to me. Though sometimes I may get lazy, I motivate myself to get the job done in a timely manner as a college student, my success depends on my determination and self-desire. When I push myself to do better in something, I feel accomplished and satisfied with myself. I always work hard at something that I know is going to benefit me in the long run. As a freshman in college thus far it has taught me to discipline myself when it comes to academics.
Vince Lombardi once said “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand”. Although Lombardi was referring to sports, people can use those inspiring words to motivate them on a daily basis. Optimism is a very important trait to possess I was taught at a very young age to always look on the bright side of things and never to be pessimistic of the outcome. When it comes to daily life and things I do on a daily basis, I try not to think negatively about anything. Thinking negatively only makes the situation worse, Having faith and being optimistic about situations can make life easier. One of the things I have learned the hard way was that it does not pay to get discouraged‘ Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. All of the things stated above define me, Briana Janae’ Shockley I have grown over the years to a more mature and nurtured young woman but, my character traits remain the same.
